On health, notice the sniggering you'll hear from some about 'Dr Google'. Turns out doctors regularly use Google as well. This is medicine's Trump moment. Patients have been ignored as ignorant for a long time, and instead of mocking them for trying to get involved in their own health, use it. It's telling us what's wrong with medicine. On top of that, I still think people who criticise the use of Google - school teachers do it too - don't understand how it works. Google aggregates the wisdom of millions of people. I would trust a Google result over an 'expert' view most days of the week.
